General information
- GOG.com Community Discussionss for the Baldur's Gate series
- GOG Support Page
Availability
Best version
The GOG.com version is pre-patched for modern systems and includes the expansion. Older versions, such as the original release, may have issues running on newer machines. Avoid the Dungeons & Dragons Classic Anthology, as it not only has issues installing on newer operating systems but also will not work with Baldur's Gate Tutu or Baldur's Gate Trilogy.
UPDATE 8/2013 - Easytutu WILL work on the D&D ANTHOLOGY pack. The trick is being able to do the INSTALL. For it to complete, the BG directory needs to add 1 file in order to successfully run Easytutu install. Read this following thread for summary of issue: http://www.gog.com/forum/baldurs_gate_series/getting_burned_a_warning_on_purchasing_baldurs_gate_outisde_of_gogcom
Fix and file can be found here (linked from TimeMage's first post): http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,28015.msg328907.html
If you plan to install Baldur's Gate and use the BG1Tutu mod you should have no problems doing so. Please refer to the Baldur's Gate Combined Installation.
